Fuzzy matching switched words

Hi all,

I want to use FuzzyStringComparer but I'm wandering is it possible to force it to rate sth like this higher?

 

eg. Pizzeria Saracino <-> Saracino Pizzeria => 0.47

So the words are correct but the order is wrong, and I need to know if the name is basically the same. In this case it is the same for me. Is there possibility to configure this transformer to check words in string separately?

Thanks in advance!

I would consider splitting all the words in both the strings and check if all the words in string 1 occur in string 2, which would indicate a certain ranking.
